Reply #1: It's not the wrong military. It's the wrong leadership that has put

[frankly_fedup2]

all of the military in an unlawful war and willing to risk the lives of young men and women in the military who work so hard to succeed for their Commander and Chief. Well their C&C has personal reasons for this war he created in Iraq. None of them involved America's Military either nor were we at danger. A report has come out now that while Bush was giving his speech at the United Nations, our military was already bombing the Hell out of Iraq's military and any planes they had. Then, when our troops started moving in, that's all we heard about. No one told us that Baghdad had already almost been destroyed.

He has infected this country with his stupidity, turned the entire World against us, and continues to put the corporate rich's needs before anything else, including the military. Stories of troops having to have their families buy their body armor . . . are these true? Stories of Humvees without the proper safety equipment . . . is this true?

When you hear people griping about this war, it is in no way denigrating any one person in the military. I admire every one of you because you agreed to serve this country, and even if you yourself don't agree with this war, I know you cannot say that, but you have stuck to your word. That says a lot about a person. The right try to make out that if we criticize the President, the war, anything that we are against the troops. That's a lie. I dare any American to say publicly that they do not believe in our military. Everything has become so political and Bush has separated this country so much, there may even be a civil war here. I would not be surprised. People are getting fed up with all of the lies that continue to be pushed as propaganda.

All Americans thank our Military. My dad was in WWII and I took him to the opening ceremony of the D-Day Memorial. I never realized what D-Day really was until I saw on the History Channel. It was a slaughter of 9,000+ troops on one day on one beach . . . but even with all the death around them, they pushed until they got through. They never gave up, and the military of today has the same convictions regarding their protection of this country. Saying Thank you to a military person is not enough and will never be. Thank you is not enough for what happened during WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf war, and now this war. I cannot imagine how anyone can have the bravery to go into any live combat. You have to have a pretty strong belief in what you are doing to accomplish what you do. You deserve better treatment from your government. The citizens of the U.S. thank you everyday and pray for you. It's the leadership of this country that is treating the military like don't question what we tell you, don't decide whether you feel it is immoral, we told you to do it and do it without complaining.

The careless comments are coming from our government, not the people of this country. Remember that the American People, all of us support each and every one of you and always will. We just want you to come home as bad as you want to.
